Year Opened2019
This is a new trail that was built by Tom Lepesqueur in the fall of 2019 out of Gifford State Park. It is flowy in design and utilizes our unique glacial till in the trail creating a very fun riding experience. The trail is about 4 miles in length and is a lolly pop style out and back. This is the start of a larger project that will climb up to the top of the ridge and there will be more info to come on that.
Access Info
Parking is either in the Kent Pond boat launch. Be mindful that the Appalachian Trail crosses here and there so please DO NOT ride on that segment and please be careful crossing rt 100 There will also be a paid parking area in the camp ground which would give you access to the showers and bathrooms. At this time, this trail is isolated, but there are plans to connect to the Base Camp Trails.
Disclaimer
Please do not ride if ground is wet. This is a new trail and it has not fully matured yet.
Adaptive Bike Info
This trail is flowy in nature and there a no bridges. Instead, rock forging was the method to get across streams.
